This week’s guest is Professor Ashley Dawson (GC/CSI, English). He currently works in the fields of environmental humanities and postcolonial ecocriticism. He is the author of two recent books: Extreme Cities: The Peril and Promise of Urban Life in the Age of Climate Change (Verso, 2017) and Extinction: A Radical History (OR Books, 2016). He weighs in on the climate change debate, the impact of climate change in New York City, and the youth-led global movement that captured attention during U.N. General Assembly’s annual meeting last month.
